MANAMA: Batelco signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), under which the institute will provide training programmes focusing on digital learning content and development solutions for Batelco employees.
A statement said Batelco is also developing a Digital Talent Academy for which the BIBF will provide relevant training content.
Additionally, Batelco and the BIBF will focus on gamification and new generation learning models to further enhance the programme and benefit both organisations.
The partnership agreement was signed by Batelco Bahrain chief executive Mohamed Bubashait and BIBF director Dr Ahmed Al Shaikh during a meeting held at Batelco headquarters in Hamala.
Mr Bubashait said, “Learning and development are an essential part of Batelco’s framework and staff already benefit from a wide range of opportunities in the classroom and online.
“The collaboration with the BIBF will take digital learning to a new era to be in line with our growing requirements as a leader in the digital communications industry.”
According to Dr Al Shaikh, the partnership comes at a time when digitalisation across all industries is growing and more organisations recognise its importance for delivery of better results.
“At the BIBF, we strive to be innovative and a leader in the delivery of training and educational programmes for individuals and organisations in Bahrain,” added Dr Al Shaikh.
